A Year Older Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay
A Year Older
No promises he makes no resolution
The new year is new only in notion
Each day as it comes so it should be dealt
There won’t be anything new emotion unfelt!
The same faces met same stretches run
Same daily chores till the day is done
Darkened sunk eyes mirror tells it all
Worries on the rise so is hair-fall!
Nothing really changes life’s hit and misses
Undying hope to build on the broken wishes
Groveling in the troughs dreaming for the crest
Praying for the miracle of next morn’s harvest!
He finds new year no time to get inebriate
Indulge in revelry and foolishly celebrate
It’s there to warp the skin droop the shoulder
Serve the stark reminder that he’s a year older!

Sounds like a sad way to start a new year. But everything you say is true. Nothing really changes - we just get older. But we will keep hoping the year brings pleasant surprises.
